Hoda Kotb admitted she’s open to dating Kevin Costner after learning fans have been “shipping” them together.
During a Q&A session on “Watch What Happens Live” Tuesday, the “Today” show host learned fans are wanting her and the “Yellowstone” star to date.
“How do you feel about viewers ‘shipping’ you and Kevin Costner after he appeared on ‘Today’ last month?” a fan asked Kotb, who was sitting next to her co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. “And have the two of you connected since?”
Kotb, 59, appeared visibly shocked as she responded, “Wait, what?”
Host Andy Cohen explained the online phenomenon, saying, “The viewers want the two of you together.”
“I didn’t know you and Kevin were shipping! I didn’t even know what shipping meant,” Bush quipped.
“I actually did know because people were coming up to me on the street, and people were like, ‘You should set up Hoda and Kevin Costner,'” she continued. “And I was like, ‘wow, I didn’t know they were flirting behind my back.”
Producers then played back clips of Kotb and the Academy Awards winner on set of the talk show last month as Bush teased her co-anchor was nervously “rubbing [her] arm” while talking to Costner.
After the actor’s interview with Kotb and Bush, a behind-the-scenes clip saw Costner showing the two a picture of his dog before giving Kotb a low waist hug with both hands.
